Pros

- Work from home or anywhere with a decent internet connection. - Can choose how many hours you work per week and it's fine to take a few weeks off every once in a while if you need to devote more time to your classes (I'm a college student, so this is nice when classes start getting tough). - I have a great mentor who gives me good/helpful assessments - Don't need to look for students to tutor or a place to meet; all of this is done online and handled by the tutor.com system

Cons

- Every session is recorded and reviewed by a mentor, which can get a bit bothersome. - Getting the scheduled hours you prefer for the next week is difficult. As soon as the schedule opens up, available hour slots are taken up very quickly...almost all gone by the next minute or two, unless it's an off-term period like winter or summer break. - Not really paid enough for the tutoring services you provide.

Pros

You tutor students one-on-one via an online classroom program. No voice or video, just instant messages and a whiteboard to write on. You have total control of your hours worked, and money earned gets directly deposited into your bank account. There's frequent feedback on the quality of your sessions, and promotions occur with good regularity. What can I say, it's nice to work from home.

Cons

The pay is not good compared to tutoring positions in person..they start off at about $10/hr..I've been tutoring for about 2 years and I'm up to $13/hr. But you don't need to drive to work or pay for food out, so that saves some money there. The only other downside I can think of is that taxes are not taken out of the paychecks (you get a 1099 form), so when tax time comes around you will have problems if you don't save up for it. Oh, and paychecks are monthly, which is rough if it's your only job.
